After rebirth, she remarried the crazy-criticizing emperor's uncle: she doted on him to the bon

She carefully looked at the furnishings of the study. It was as clean and grand as the layout of the courtyard.

There are three bookshelves in the study, which are filled with military books; on the desk are pens, ink, paper and inkstone, all of which are made of top-quality materials.

Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a dark red box on the table. The box was open, and she saw what was inside at a glance - it was a military token.

In her previous life, in order to steal this military token, she had sneaked into his tent time and time again, just to find this military token that could mobilize the army, but every time, she ended up in failure.

Unexpectedly, the things that she could not easily see in her previous life appeared before her eyes easily in this life. Should she sigh and say, "What a trick of fate"?

Xiao Shiyi noticed her change. He followed her gaze and naturally saw the things he had casually placed on the table.

"Yue'er wants it?"

His eyes were complicated, and there was an expression in them that was difficult to understand.

Wu Qingyue came back to her senses and said quietly, "I don't want it. It's just that I didn't expect you to leave such an important thing on the table so casually."

Xiao Shiyi walked forward, picked up the military token and played with it in his hand: "It's just a thing."

Wu Qingyue was shocked: He spoke of such an important thing so lightly?

"If Yue'er wants it, I can give it to you." He said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"I do not want!"

Wu Qingyue refused without a second thought. In her previous life, this military token was very important to her, but in this life...

She would definitely not have any intention of taking this military token.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity! You don't want such a good thing." A man looked "regretful".

Wu Qingyue couldn't understand what he was up to, so she could only remain silent. She picked up the military book on the table and began to read it with interest.

"Yue'er likes to read military books?"

"Ah."

Military books are one of her few hobbies.

"I have many military books here. If Yue'er wants to read them, she can come anytime."

"Uh-huh?"

"what happened?"

"nothing."

She thought they were not yet close enough to have casual interactions.

Seeing her immerse herself in the military book again, Xiao Shiyi stopped talking. He casually picked up a book, found a chair to sit down, and began to read in the same manner as her. However, his fox eyes kept falling on the woman from time to time...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a servant came to report. Xiao Shiyi put down the military book with a feeling of "not yet satisfied" and said to the woman, "Lunch is ready, let's go eat first."

Although Wu Qingyue was attracted by the military book, she was indeed a little hungry and could not bear to put the book down.

The door of the study was opened from the inside, and two people walked out one after the other. The one who called them was a maid. She knew this maid because after her death in her previous life, she was the one who took care of Xiao Shiyi's food, clothing, and daily life. She saw her almost every day.

She remembered that her name seemed to be "Hongxiu"?

The maid was walking at the back. Wu Qingyue seemed to feel a hostile gaze on her back. She couldn't help but look back, but saw the maid with her head down, following obediently.

Could it be that she is too worried?

She shook her head and laughed at herself for being too suspicious.

The two of them soon arrived at the dining area. The large round table was full and already filled with food.

"Didn't the prince say he had enough of the delicacies from land and sea? Why did he prepare so many meals?"

"This is Yue'er's first time at the palace, how can I neglect her?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite."

"It's not polite, it's my willingness."

Uh......

In order to prevent him from saying anything "explicit", she quickly found a place to sit down.

"hehe."

The man laughed when he saw this, and then he sat down. Hongxiu quickly walked between the two of them and pretended to start picking up some food.

"It's enough for me to be here. You can go down."

Hongxiu was stunned. "Your Highness, this is neither morally nor logically appropriate. It would be better for this servant to stay and serve."

"Go down."

Xiao Shiyi's voice was faintly filled with impatience.

Hongxiu's body froze for a few seconds. Having been with her master for so many years, she naturally knew that Xiao Shiyi's temper had reached a critical point.

"Yes."

After Hongxiu left, Xiao Shiyi picked up a bowl, filled it with rock sugar, lily, and mung bean porridge, and placed it in front of Wu Qingyue: "Yue'er, I asked the kitchen to make this especially for you, try it."

Wu Qingyue looked at the lily and mung bean porridge in front of her. Under the man's expectant gaze, she picked up a spoon and took a sip. It was smooth, crispy, and tender with a delicate taste.

"what about the taste?"

"Delicious."

In an instant, the man smiled as if in the spring breeze.

Wu Qingyue's heart skipped a beat when she saw him smile. Seeing the man pick up his chopsticks and pick up a piece of meat she didn't know what it was and move it towards her, she quickly protected her bowl and said seriously, "I'll do it myself."

If the news of the Ninth Prince of Xiao State personally serving food to her were to get out, would she still be alive?

Wu Qingyue felt very uncomfortable during the meal.

It was because the man next to her didn't eat well and his eyes were always on her. How could she eat well in this situation?

After dinner, she was thinking of a reason to leave. Perhaps guessing her intention, the man took the initiative to offer to take her to visit the palace's armory.

Wu Qingyue became interested when she heard this. You know, as a woman, she doesn't like needlework, but likes to wield swords and guns. Xiao Shiyi also saw this point of hers and controlled her tightly.

As a result, she stayed in the armory for another afternoon.

As the sun set in the west, she reluctantly sat in the carriage she had come in and slowly returned home.

"Is Yue'er having a happy day today?"

"happy."

At that time, Wu Qingyue was holding the "treasure" she had looted from Xiao Shiyi - a pair of exquisitely polished short blades.

In the armory, she'd immediately taken a liking to the pair of short blades. Their scabbards, crafted from precious metal, were engraved with lifelike golden dragons and inlaid with precious purple crystals. Unsheathed, the blades shone brightly in the dim room, reflecting a cold light that easily distracted an opponent's vision.

As someone who knows a lot about weapons, she knew that this was a valuable weapon.

"like?"

Xiao Shiyi's voice sounded behind her.

"Yes, I like it."

"Take it if you like it."

Since he said so, Wu Qingyue naturally would not refuse: "In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness."

"What did you call me?"

"...Shi Yi."

"good!"

Wu Qingyue really wanted to roll her eyes, but considering that he gave her such an expensive pair of daggers, she knew the situation well and didn't argue with him.
